Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme may be one of Simon & Garfunkel’s most famous songs and spices for your Thanksgiving turkey stuffing, but they’re also key ingredients found in a host of herbal infused beauty products. We’ve rounded up some excellent items for you to check out, but first here’s a quick peek at what these spices are.

Parsley is a species of Petroselinum, native to the central Mediterranean. Sage or Salvia is the largest genus of plants of the mint family. Rosemary has natural antibiotic, disinfecting and beautifying properties and is used extensively to combat lice and dandruff. Thyme oil is an antibiotic and antifungal and its aroma makes it popular for incense and beauty products.

Infused with a natural blend of tomato, cucumber and parsley extracts, Burt’s Bees Garden Tomato Toner removes lingering traces of dirt, oil and make-up and helps tighten pores. Formulated with a fruit acid base of sugar cane and bilberry, it also supports the natural exfoliation of skin cells leaving skin refreshed and renewed. $12 at www.Burtsbees.com.
